Wire Mesh Fence VidaXL 1.6 x 50 m Galvanized Steel Hexagonal Mesh

VidaXL Hexagonal Wire Mesh Fence, sized 1.6 x 50 m, is a flexible galvanized steel mesh designed for outdoor perimeter fencing, garden enclosures and light reinforcement applications. The hexagonal pattern provides adaptability for uneven ground and slopes while the galvanized finish increases resistance to corrosion for typical outdoor exposure. This product is intended for situations where a lightweight, shapeable barrier is required rather than a rigid welded fence.

Advantages

The galvanized steel construction offers improved resistance to rust and weathering compared with untreated wire, extending service life in outdoor conditions. The hexagonal mesh design is flexible and can be cut and shaped on site to follow contours, making installation on slopes and around obstacles easier. At 1.6 m height and 50 m length, the roll provides a continuous fencing solution suitable for medium-length runs without frequent joints.

Suitable for

• Perimeter fencing for gardens and allotments
• Enclosures for small livestock, poultry or pets
• Temporary or permanent boundary marking
• Plant protection, climbing plant support and trellising
• Light reinforcement for soil or erosion control on slopes

When it may not be suitable

This hexagonal wire mesh is not intended as a high-security or tamper-resistant barrier where rigid strength and anti-climb properties are required. For applications demanding heavy-duty load-bearing capacity or full visual privacy, a welded mesh panel, palisade or solid fence would be more appropriate. Professional installation should be considered where local regulations or safety requirements apply.

Key specifications

• Material: galvanized steel
• Mesh pattern: hexagonal
• Height: 1.6 m
• Length (roll): 50 m
• Suitable environment: outdoor use with corrosion resistance from galvanization

How to use

Unroll the mesh along the intended fence line and secure one end to a sturdy post. Tension the mesh by hand or with tools as appropriate and attach to intermediate posts at regular intervals using wire ties, clips or staples rated for outdoor use. Trim the mesh with appropriate cutting tools to fit corners and obstacles; edges can be folded or secured to reduce sharpness. For gates and access points, leave a gap and attach the mesh to a rigid frame. For longer-term installations, set posts in concrete for stability and consider adding a top rail for additional rigidity.

What to consider before purchase

• Required fence height and whether 1.6 m meets local or functional needs
• Length of the area to be fenced and how many rolls are needed
• Type of posts and fixing method compatible with hexagonal mesh
• Expected exposure to weather and whether additional protective coatings are needed
• Local regulations for fencing material and boundary placement

Usage recommendations

For best results, use treated or galvanized posts and corrosion-resistant fasteners to match the mesh finish, install posts at consistent spacing for uniform tension, and inspect fixings periodically. Where animals are kept, bury a short apron of mesh or use ground staples to prevent burrowing, and overlap adjacent rolls by at least one mesh unit to maintain continuity.
